IT Governance & Cyber Security

IT Governance & Cyber Security

At BDO, we believe that cyber-attacks and data breaches are one of the biggest risk facing organisations and their boards today. Impact of cyber incidents could impair an organisation’s reputation, market value and financial position.

In the last couple of months, the world has witnessed an increase in cyber-attacks. Hackers are aware that due to the COVID-19 crisis, many people are actively working remotely. In these times, employees are often more restless, which reduces cyber awareness and therefore makes it easier for them to fall into a trap.

In order to answer to those threats we offer our customers various services for addressing the different weaknesses or regulatory obligations, each with a technical approach adapted to the size and complexity of our clients. This results in clear recommendations and specific actions to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and security of your data and systems.
